Listen to poem:

Mille Lacs

The fire encircled by red Adirondacks A ham and cheese omelette full of protein packs Glacier remnants the shoreline stacks Crimson turns; the once green Sumac's In the Ojibwe lands no fall beauty lacks Anishinaabeg; the "True People" of lake Mille Lacs

Well if you're ever in the mood to travel look in the center of Minnesota about 2/3 of the way up it's the giant Lake in the middle. Glad you enjoyed the description I certainly enjoyed having breakfast there. Salutations A.S.

This is wonderful. I can almost see it! I live on Anishinabe Algonquin territory myself, and autumn”s colours are blooming here too. Lovely to read you today! xomo
